Wow I learned a tone from this. Many thanks!

The Quick Rigging tool is an awesome addition. Easy to use and this video explains it well. But as most of us have quickly discovered, the hand joints are not included. Without that all of our models are just 'kung-fu fighting'. I have yet to see a quick rig video that shows how to add the hand joints later. I tried but I am not able to get it to work. That simple addition to the video would be tremendously helpful. Thanks.

This also is hard to work with for animators. Since all controls have translation values once rigged and you can not zero them out. It has been like this in the past versions and even in 2018 it is still the case. Please give all controls a standard value of 0,0,0 in the next update to make everyone's life easier. :)

Amazing video

Life saver tutorial. Thanks

Just diving into this and right off the bat I can see the mirror function doesn't work as expected. It moves the opposite joint but positions it wrong. My character has asymmetrical bits but is centered at 0 on the grid. My character is also made of many pieces that are grouped together. Using Maya 2019. I can see the guides that are automatically created are not perfectly centered either. Is this because of the asymmetry? Current workaround is manually inputting the values into the channel box.

Direct to the point ... no mumbo jumbo _thank you

Thank you so much, it helped me a lot

Hello Maya! You mentioned in a comment before about how quick rig doesn't automatically rig fingers or facial definitions. But could it be possible to add joints to the rigged skeleton? For examples, in regards to the fingers or toes, I made new joints for the fingers and then parent them to the wrist bone. Do I have to re-skin it? Or is there a simplified way?

@Autodesk_Maya

7 жыл бұрын

You don't have to "re"-skin it, you just have to add those joints to the skin (select both, then go to Skin > Edit Influences > Add Influence in the Rigging menu set). You will have to paint weights for them though.

мне это очень помогло благодарю вас сэр за столь прекрасное видео!!!

I finished the comprehensive rig video series, just to realize that it is not very useful for a unity import and rather used for film animation. However I am really happy I did the entire series. I learned alot over the past weeks. I read in the comments that it is possible to use the existing hand joints from this series. Is it possible to import the entire hand rig and its controllers to a new quick rig scene file? Also. Is it possible to add the foot controls, too, since they are much more versatile? I think I would have to delete the foot joints for that. And on a final note. What if I wanted to add a weapon to that character like a speer that he could throw and pick up and put on this back? I think this is far more complex than I realise atm.

@Autodesk_Maya

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can actually just export the hands only and then affix them to your quick rig, then parent constrain them appropriately and add them to the skinning. And yes you can add foot controls the same way. While the character is carrying a weapon, you can parent constrain the weapon to that character. Once the character throws it however, you'll want to reduce the effect of the constraint to 0 since it will be independent of the character.

life saver. Thank you very much.

@Autodesk_Maya

8 жыл бұрын

Although HIK supports finger joints (as well as toes), it unfortunately doesn't play nice with the guides and T-Stance correcting of the Quick Rig Tool specifically. If you need fingers, your best bet is to go with a full HIK setup instead (see the docs here: help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-83281B78-7DB0-4228-88D0-284E4A61564C). You can use the basic skeleton created by the Quick Rig Tool to start, but you will need to manually add finger joints and define them in the Character Control Tool. Another option would be to build a rig specifically for the hands (like the one we made in parts 28 and 29 of our comprehensive rigging tutorial here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5qmj5ewh9aue6w.html) and parent constrain it to the wrist joints here. In short, while the Quick Rig tool is very fast and convenient, it is also limited to creating very simple rigs.

Hello! This uick Rig Tool can run in Maya 2009? One more thing! I have a Serious big problem. In August, I started rigging for another character. I was doing very well until the duplication, but when I was almost done, the flexing kinematics had a big problem with the wrist. I fixed it by rigging my right hand with mirroring again, but when I want to connect my right hand, an unknown, unjustified problem appears. maybe a space problem, you don't know. It consists of orienting constraint RightArm_FKConst_GRP and RightArm_ResultConst_GRP to RightArm_ShoulderSpace_LOC after I set the rotate x value to -180, instead of 0 the result, but -360. I don't know something I forgot or I duplicated Shoulder_GRP badly, I don't know. I tried to fix everything, but it didn't work! I've had enough! I tried everything. That's why I turn to you for help. Can you tell me how I can fix it? What did I do wrong. Also how to duplicate. PLEASE! Help me if you can. Thank you in advance.

@Exsulator2

I have a similar problem, but with the shoulder instead. If anyone found a solution, I'd love to know about it... Context: Around 15:50 does not explain how one would fix the same issue with multiple orient constraints - consider that offsetting one constraint is fairly easy, but when you constrain multiple locators, they still use the same constraint node - so you can only choose one offset number for ALL of them. Fixing one, breaks another. The 0 - 360 problem also appears in the process. The shoulder locator, having been scaled negative X, is causing this issue to the fk rotation space. Basically, I could flip the group as in the video - but then one of the other orient constraints will get messed up.

Where can I get this program please? ??

@Autodesk_Maya

Little Black Star Studios Unfortunately yes. While you can change the joint structure, the mesh needs to remain the same (since the weight map is assigned to vertex IDs). However! If you have the original still around, you can actually use a “Transfer Weight Maps” to transfer Skin weights from your original mesh to the new one by distance rather than vertex ID. Just make sure you set it to “closest vertex”.

@Autodesk_Maya

Assuming skeleton generator = Quick Rigging tool, you'll mainly want to use that for background characters or NPCs (ones that won't be too focused on by the camera or those who won't have overly complex movements). For player characters or hero characters in films, you'll probably want to build a more robust rig. Motionbuilder is a tool that is specially optimized for character animation. It also contains a lot of tools for creating character rigs. The nice thing is that you can transfer rigs made in Maya to Motionbuilder via the FBX file format. It's definitely an excellent tool to have, but you can accomplish most of the same stuff within Maya itself.

@MayaLearningChannel Matt, I'm having a problem with the controllers moving and rotating the appendages. I was using a model I downloaded from CGTrader and thought it was a problem with the model. So I decided to download the model in the link under this video. I'm still having the same issue. I've created the skeleton and control rig exactly as you have done. In the Human IK window, in the Definitions tab, everything is lit green. In the Controls tab, only three joints are lit green: the feet and the hips/waist. They're the only joints I can move and rotate with the "circle" controllers. The controllers for the remaining joints don't move or rotate at all. Again, I've followed your instructions (they couldn't be any clearer) and I don't think I've missed any of the steps. Any idea as to what could be wrong? Is there a setting I may have missed or a plugin that should be loaded? I'm at a loss. I've spent two days trying to figure this out; have posted the issue on forums (including Maya Autodesk Community) and no one has responded. I'm to the point where I'm about to give up on Quick Rig and do everything manually.
